if someone responds yes and has a build sheet, which I don't. Would that do it? Something tells me you people still wouldn't believe it.


i really want to believe you but
if you go back to my last post on this thread
i asked a very simple easy peasy question that i got immediately from reading your link
that you provided that you say proves your claim.

my question was ignored frowwn
it might give you a clue towards the correct answer smile

and why i said i want to believe you
is my mind is wide open as i'm far from any expert
but so far all you have provided is opinion..



yes, it's all opinion. except for the links and websites that I've referred to and oh yes, the 2 pics of the factory service manual. Those aren't my opinion.

More proof taken from the R/R GTX data/price guide. The 383 referenced is the 300HP 1971 engine that came standard on every Roadrunner that year. The 440 is next to it just for laughs. can anyone recall a member of the 1971 Satellite family that had a 300 HP 383? no mention of a 4 BBL Holley but that's OK it's just "incomplete" right? just like the factory parts manual. Is that an opinion?

So we believe these 3rd party resto books? Why did they need to print the 2nd edition revised and updated version? Because they started fixing the misinformation in the first edition.

Why not use the book that the car manufacturer printed, AKA the Chrysler Corporarion parts book?

But why confuse this issue with the facts.

Those books are junk....

Do you need another thread to convince you....??

You have a non original AG set up...so who cares...am sure car is awesome... but NOT original...

What kills me is Air Grabber is not correct...and you worried about a wing nut...

Why do you say, I'm worried?.... I don't get it. I just would like to have one because the one that I do have looks terrible. Why would that translate to worry?

I was thinking some more about what 2 other posters suggested about the heated air intake option on '71 Roadrunners. How would I know if I had heated air in order to be deserving of an exalted Holley carburetor? Would the manifolds be different in any way?

If I didn't have the heated air option, would the air cleaner be 1 or 2 snorkel and not have a drop tube to the stove? and would the manifold omit the mounts for the hot air stove?

“Heated air intake” was never an option in ’71, standard on all engines with one exception, when ordered with the optional “Fresh Air, N96, Air Grabber”. You had one or the other. The driver’s side exhaust manifolds were the same, with mounting points cast for the heat stove. Stove, and all components relating to heated air, was omitted when ordered with N96. Dual snorkel air cleaner, with heated air provisions, on the ’71 383HP, again with only one exception-N96.

Thanks. Things are finely starting to make a bit of sense now because I know that my VIN doesn't mention the N96 so it's doubtful the AG system came with the car. But the exhaust manifolds shows signs that a stove was mounted to it. If you're saying that heated air was standard on all except the N96 cars, it's looking very likely that my car had heated air. One other follow up question. What were they doing in 1970 with all the 383 Roadrunners......we're they putting nothing but Holleys in them or does it go by either SPD or engine/tranny combo?

The Air Grabber/ N 96 will not be on the VIN tag or door decal, only two places will show it, the fender tag, and the broadcast sheet.

I owned a 70 Superbee with 383 N96 option. That had a Carter, unless it was changed out before I got it. I purchased it in 1973.

If your car did not have N96 it would have a dual snorkel 71 only air cleaner with a stove pipe attached to the drivers side exhaust manifold.

By the way as someone already stated none of the repop wing nuts are correct. If you want an original correct wing nut for your incorrect carb you gotta get one from a real original car.

(says one of the original "beat the dead horse until it is gone" posters of the infamous "wing nut" thread here on Moparts)

I still have several original 6 pak/6bbl wing nuts including a date coded restored set of carbs for a 69 1/2 4 speed car.

Give it up. You are supposed to have a Holley. Just for ghits and siggles, what is the date code and part number on your "original" carter.

this could turn bad real quickly now. I was going to ask that question but didn't want to end this beautiful thread before 8 pages of head pounding nonsense.

i'm happy that you still have your original 6 pak/6bbl wing nuts with your vintage carbs. You must be very proud. I'd be perfectly willing to give you the date codes of the 2 Carter AVSs that I had but no longer do because they were sold off at least 15 years ago and yes, i do recognize that, had I kept them, there would not have been such an animated discussion here on Moparts dot com because the answer would be on those dates.
